Read the latest interims.......just make sure that you are sitting down.

PVCS holding up well today....surprising with what's happening to the rest of the market !.

News out today: "short selling has been banned"....

This is going to have a mega impact, with much wider ramifications for all sorts of activities and the companies that provide the platforms to do so.

not all shorting i think you will find ..... heavy restrictions on shorting financials only

Interesting to note from the MAs on the chart that if the 50 turns South and crosses down over the 200 we get a so called 'Death Cross'. Golden and Death crosses are usually pretty good indicators of future price performance. Also sitting on support once more so any break down now would seemingly put 200p back on the table.

Thanks Cynic and pth - I was already worried that all the fun had been taken out of trading!

with Wall Street looking to be heading for a sharp(ish) reaction after friday, a wee short here could be a good call

Was thinking the same thing myself cynic.

live sp is on my screen and shall monitor until close(r) to NY opening

Doing the same thing cyners. News just in that a further 30 or so companys have been added to the shorts banned list including GM.

you can't short 'em!

You can here....

Any of you guys thinking of going long on SOLA soon?
If memory serves me right, 220p is the absolute bottom so far, so am getting ready for the 'Up' cycle.

SOLA ADRs are currently quite strong (+83), but i think you will find the intraday low was 200 or even a bit lower

Gone long today.

Tight stop? If news from U.S. is bad, this will drop further.

I don't think the news from the US will be bad, well now worse than it has been so far. Volatility rules. There may be some mileage in going long at the moment, but I really have no confidence in this chart now. I'm not sure what time scale those MAs are, but I'm assuming 200, 50, 25 (or thereabouts). If that green 'un dips beneath the black 'un you have the so called Death Cross. Now I know my pal Cynic will pop up and tell me it's all a load of cobblers (crosses, wedges, pennants, flags and whatever elses) but the Death Cross is a pretty damn good harbinger of gloom (bit of a mixed metphor there). personally I wouldn't take a position until that little matter resolves itself. If it crosses down, short away. IMHO naturally.

PTH, 90% of people who expressed an opinion, said that the $700bn vote would get through first time. I hate to think how many people went long on the DOW that afternoon in anticipation! I stand by my comment....."If the news etc..".

only do death crosses at easter!

btw, i think the correct term is dead cross, but quite happy to be flexible in my terminology come "carpentry time" ...... anyway, just remember the warning from the centurion - "Drop that cross once more and you're out of the procession!"

Looks to be a good TA case for buying here (dare I say it).

Both lagging and trending indicators pointing to a move upwards.

Im watching very carefully this afternoon and may BUY.

Not as volatile as it once was this stock.

I reckon with more stock in the hands of the market that the beta is now progressing to that more in line with the general market.
